Wenn die Dämmerung hereinbricht und der Mond am Himmel erscheint, gehen alle Tiere schlafen – bis auf die Eule, die über die Dunkelheit wacht und uns auf eine Reise durch die nächtliche Tierwelt mitnimmt. Genau beobachtet sie der anderen Tiere Schlaf: einige schlafen im Stehen, andere bewegen sich beim Schlafen; manche schlafen allein, andere in Gruppen, wieder andere zusammengekuschelt. Und während jede Tierrasse auf andere Art und Weise einschlummert, fallen auch die Kinder mithilfe der zart-poetischen Bilder von Ausnahmeillustrator Il Sung Na in tiefen Schlaf.
